The international yacht race at this
season across the Atlantic promises
to be the most exciting of this kind

new American yacht, Volunteer" is
said to be much faster than the Puri-
tan or Mayfiower, and it is conceded
that the English yacht Thistle, is a
very much faster sailer than any of
the English yachts that thus far have
been sent across the Atlantic. A good
deal OF national pride enters into a
contest of this character. American
yaehtsmen have held "the cup" for
many years, and the whole country

Thomas Scott, of Chicago, one of
the oldest and most extensive cattle
dealers in the United States, says there
isno mistake about the depression Of
the cattle business. especially on the
ranges, being unprecedented. Hesays
that sufficient attention has not gen.
orally been paid to the falling off in
the export trade as a cause operating
to depress the cattle business. The
enormous export of wheat at unprece-
dentedly low prices for a series of
years has almost entirely driven out
wheat growing in Great Britain and
many European countries. The price
OF American wheat has been far below
the cost of production in those coun-
tries. As a result the farmers have
gone into cattle raising. Mr.. Scott
says that Scotland is full of cattle,
and also north Germany. Mt. Scott
anticipates that there will in the next
year be an immense withdrawal of
capital. The result in his opinion
will be to pnt the business in the
hands OF practical men who are on
Tho gcound, and in the dissolution of
hundreds OF cattle companies which
have been organized all over the coun.
try. and which as a rule, have been

The officers ofthe steamer Umbria, which
arrived In New York July Both, report
that the vessel was washed by a huge tidal
wave on the way over. II was last We'd

about ]. 500 miles from Sandy Hook. A
mass Of angry water like a huge wall was
rushing from the westward toward
the tInbria. IL seemed to tower high
above the vessel and looked formidable
enough to crush the huge ship Officer
King quickly turned the signal lever to
slow the vessel, and the Umbria was
brought up to face the huge wave. On
it came, striking the steamer over
the port bow. The huge volume OF
water toppled over ON the vessel,
actually burying her in the brine. The
ship seemed almost to stand still for a
momens. then she rose from the blow and
the water poured from her decks in huge
streams. Some sailors who had been
making their way forward were half drown
ed, and would have been carried overheard
bad they not chung to the guard. The
water rushed below and nearly drowned
the sailors and fircmen whose hunks were
on the haul-up deck. The escape Of the
vessel from more serious injury is consider
ell remarkably by her officers. who say the
wave was the largest they ever saw. Many
of the steerage passengers we're awakened
